Intel's 45nm Prices & Performance

[WSX]

I think the E8400 is the best bang for bucks, 4 GHz should be doable with a P35 board and decent cooling

[AriciU]

Prices in Romania:

E8200 - 169€
E8400 - 189€
E8500 - 269€

Website says they are in-stock but can only be sold on the 20th Jan. 11 Days from now, just gotta get some cash for this 8500 now

[TEDY]

why buy 8500 when 8400 is almost 80€ cheaper?

[N3RO]

Because 0.5x can make the difference for overclockers like me

Updated first post with the newer data.

[AriciU]

Not mine but almost unbelieavable Air cooling (Zerotherm Nirvana NV120), 1.475v, E8400, FFS

I never thought i'd see an E8400 clocked so high, on air, with so little volts Click on pics for higher res.

[systemviper]

WOW! we got a fun new year a commin,
SWEET Clocks....

[ThatGuy16]

can't wait... i wonder how long its going to take me to catch one "in stock"

Should be nice with a x38 or P5K-e

[EDIT] is your friend from South/Central America by any chance???? owner of the CPU

[AriciU]

No idea mate. Other people on that forum where i got the screen's from are harshly questioning it's validity. Can't quite think that it can be real myself to be honest.

Edit: nah. Romania.

[dinos22]

i got my two babies in

[AriciU]

You gonna post results on the 20th too?

i am having a hard time digesting that info and i reckon it's the same source
if this is for real i am shocked haha

[dinos22]

mmmm more like 10th for me

[ThatGuy16]

Do you think the 8400's multi is worth the extra few bones over the 8300?

[AriciU]

No idea. SuperPI is close to that on the thread you linked but the voltage and frequency differs. Also, Kain's desktop setup (wallpaper, etc) is different. He'll post more about it tommorow i guess, people questioning him hard I'll post here when i find out anything new.

EDITED

Can't wait Planning to get an 8500 myself on the 20th.

[dinos22]

No idea. SuperPI is identical to that on the thread you linked but the voltage differs. Also, Kain's desktop setup (wallpaper, etc) is different. He'll post more about it tommorow i guess, people questioning him hard I'll post here when i find out anything new.

superpi times are different too

Yeah, just noticed that myself. Any photoshop experts around? Could be a bug tho... I wish it's real anyway, if the retails turn out to OC a hell of a lot better then the ES's it would be awesome.

[dinos22]

HAHAHAH tell that to get ed AriciU

It's a "strange " bug in those circumstances. That's BS if you ask me. We haven't seen similar results from guys testing $h!t load of cpu (Andre, coolaler...)

Hey guys, I've been busy with school work for the past month and couldn't keep up with the news. I tried finding the release
date for Yorkfields, the Q9450 to be specific, but haven't had any luck. I did found out there are some problems...But still....

Is there a release date for Yorkies out yet? Like a specific date, not just Q1.


Thanks in advance.

I would also like to know. I was either going to get the 8400 or the 9450, now I am dead set on the 9450. My Maximus Formula has been sitting in the box for almost a month now
